Parenteral excipients are substances used in the formulation of injectable drugs. They are an important component of parenteral products as they help to stabilize, solubilize, and enhance the delivery of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) to the patient.

Kolliphor® HS 15-cyclodextrin Complex for the Delivery of Voriconazole: Preparation,…
Background: This study aimed to reduce the amount of sulfobutylether-β-cyclodextrin (SBECD) used in the marketed voriconazole injections to meet the clinical needs of patients with moderate-to-severe renal impairment (creatinine clearance rate <50 mL/min).
Objective: This study found that the…

Devices for drug delivery in the gastrointestinal tract: a review of systems physically interacting…
The delivery of macromolecules via the gastrointestinal (GI) tract remains a significant challenge. A variety of technologies using physical modes of drug delivery have been developed and investigated to overcome the epithelial cell layer of the GI tract for local and systemic delivery. These…

Subcutaneously Injectable Hyaluronic Acid Hydrogel for Sustained Release of Donepezil with Reduced…
The daily oral administration of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors for Alzheimer’s disease features low patient compliance and can lead to low efficacy or high toxicity owing to irregular intake. Herein, we developed a subcutaneously injectable hyaluronic acid hydrogel (MLC/HSA hydrogel)…

Antimicrobial Excipient-Induced Reversible Association of Therapeutic Peptides in Parenteral…
New classes of therapeutic peptides are being developed to prosecute biological targets which have been inaccessible to other modalities. Higher potency and longer half-life peptides have given rise to multiuse injectable formulations that enable convenient, low volume, and self-administered dosing;…

Preparation of solid dispersions with respect to the dissolution rate of active substance
Solid dispersions (SDs) are one of the successfully applied methods to improve the solubility and dissolution rates of poorly water-soluble drugs. SDs are commonly API-polymer systems, where API is molecularly dispersed in a polymeric matrix. The objective of this study was to prepare SDs by…

Role of release modifiers to modulate drug release from fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printed…
Although hot melt extrusion (HME) has been used in combination with fused deposition modelling (FDM) three-dimensional printing (3DP), suitable feedstock materials such as polymeric filaments with optimum properties are still limited. In this study, various release modifying excipients, namely,…

Achieving gastroresistance without coating: Formulation of capsule shells from enteric polymers
Capsules are a widely used oral dosage form due to their simplicity and ease of manufacture. They are equally popular for both pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products and since they do not need extensive formulation development, it is a dosage form of choice for new drugs undergoing animal or…

Characterization and Applications of Colloidal Systems as Versatile Drug Delivery Carriers for…
Preparing a suitable formulation for parenteral administration is already a difficult task; this, coupled with poor water-soluble new chemical entity (NCE), complicates this situation even further. There are several methodologies available to enhance water solubility, but this alone does not entail…

Applications of Polymers in Parenteral Drug Delivery
Parenteral drug delivery plays a very vital role in pharmacotherapy of various acute and critical illnesses. Injectables have been preferred formulations over oral and topicals especially in case where rapid effects of drugs are required or prolongation of drug release is desired.
This would not…
